over his work here is done he is overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the promoter ski region and the w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it yes you should do it because no one tries to stop them in just five years the forest will be gone what will the people who live afterwards do it's a question more and more people are aware of today climate change in the safety of our environment is the homes are being discussed around the world and perhaps it's those small steps that might be a start to people living in harmony with nature. welcome back here without well it's just a couple of days before america plunges off the fiscal cliff there's still no deal in science between the firmly entrenched republicans and democrats millions of

americans stand to see their taxes go up dramatically on new year's day the sticking point holding up a negotiation is other rights for the rich republicans are rejecting any deal that would see those taxes rise other democrats insist the wealthy should pay a little more investment advisor patrick young says the u.s. is heading towards further recession if it can't cut spending. i'm really worried going into twenty thirteen i mean ultimately the great thing is that humankind will survive we will all remain the same people but the problem we have is first of all america seems to be heading suicidally towards this thing the fiscal cliff the possibility that it may enter another leg of recession or possibly even depression as a result of legislators inability to curb their habit of spending like footballers' wives and then on the other side of the atlantic we also have this problem the european union is getting to the point where it seems to think it's soldiers problems solving your problems means that twenty five percent of the workforce of

several countries are out of work if fifty plus percent of the youth of say somewhere like spain are out of work that really frightens me. well let your imagination run wild the animator behind blockbusters like wall-e. and ratatouille did something himself the task of creating a new superhero every day of the year see some of his creations on our website. and it's a case of another day another scandal is twelve million euros goes missing from greece's truest industry when the country needs it most to report on who's to blame . dozens of jailed activists in bahrain who took part in anti-government protests

have had their sentences reduced but the opposition is keeping up the pressure petering its demands for the immediate release of all political prisoners. spoke to some of the activists about what lies behind the unrest. well when it came to supporting calls for democracy in the middle east or north african states while denouncing government sponsored violence leaders of the west were vocally critical from our graphic has lost legitimacy to lead and he must leave out a very clear message president which is it is time for him to go but when scenes of violent clashes between riot police and reform complainer skin from bahrain the definition of democracy shifted and rhetoric softened. in the summer of the us state department came up with a statement expressing its concerns over the human rights situation and alleged torture in bahrain this was only several months after washington had restarted weapons sales to this gulf state dissenters in bahrain have been directing their

government for months with no stop arming the killers it's a message they are more often saying to the west some of the blood is worthless and the libyan blood is more important it's just critical a stand so you do see from travels to europe to direct attention to what he believes to be brutal repression in his country and he and others like him have managed to alert human rights organizations but that's as far as it goes they go. clinton made a statement about bahrain about the. situation in bahrain and this. one protester was killed you know and show you that there is no impact on the ground we are a victim and behind because we live in a country they condemn the violence committed by the bahraini government against the peaceful to put this out and beheading but that is still continuing for decades bahrain has been one of washington's closest allies in the gulf its naval base

houses the u.s. fifth fleet and six thousand troops in a seemingly irreversible decision made decades ago despite the growing anti-american mood among some of bahrain's neighbors. anything happens in the bush era plan or any of the other planners that there are allegations of a nuclear weapon being built we are very close to all of those sites and we have to make the right decision in preventing any kind of catastrophe coming here we are or are not capable of doing that and that's why we turn to our friends and allies and officials firmly deny that washington plays a decisive role in preventing any revolution happening in bahrain but even the bahraini government's information minister suggests the us main fact be playing a double game. i think the iranian opposition is a key ally of the us leader of the opposition and the terrorist members of the opposition have close ties with foreign embassies in bahrain we can leak some of

the old many documents proving that if this is true then washington sitting comfortably you can quickly switch sides but for now the opposition in bahrain is left to wonder as to why goals to support democracy from some are less worthy of attention than others. r.t. reporting from the kingdom of bahrain. work at some of today's international news now gunfire and the protests near the western iraq a city has left two people wounded it's thought the bodyguards of a sunni official fired the shots have been more than a week of rallies which have seen sunni muslims protest against what they see as second class treatment from the shia led government. israel has he says blockade of gaza letting shipments of gravel from qatar into the region for private construction is the first time television has relaxed restrictions and some asking to in two thousand and seven palestinian officials say israel is also promising

that other building materials will be allowed into gaza and seventy percent of the commercial needs are currently routed through israel. afghan leaders this week accuse. nato contract is over running away from paying taxes as you dance wraps up its mission there the country says it needs that money to boost weaker finances ahead of major reconstruction and antiwar activist brian becker thinks the military is not the only one avoiding payments karzai is caught between a rock and a hard place he knows his very survival the fact of the matter is the occupation of afghanistan like almost all foreign occupation is riddled with corruption by the occupiers and by view elites who are that we sippin of their assistance and does the karzai government really represent the afghan people does it represent working families does it represent the poor farmers i would say absolutely not there is no indication of that whatsoever to the extent that the karzai government is demanding

from foreign forces or independent domestic forces any sort of revenue you can you can believe you can guess for sure i would say that much of that money will be treated as loot something that will be the private premise for those who are in power the elite themselves. well in the way as promised russia's role in trying to resolve the situation in syria and how to stop more splinters appearing between moscow and washington russia's foreign minister talks exclusively to r.t. off the break. wealthy british style. is not on. markets why not just come to find out what's really happening to the global economy

with mike's cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds a report on. something. the law is been huge. thousands of meters of lice control. that is a loser for many. but dangerous

even to those who keep it to distance. thank you. thank. you. thank.

you dear love rolph russia's foreign minister thank you very much for being with r.t. today my pleasure now your ending your ear with a visit to india russia has been clear in its support for india's aspirations to become a permanent member of un security council how do you think the much criticised joint security council will benefit from india's participation. first of all i would say that criticism is not always warranted the latest wave of criticism was related to the fact that the security council allegedly cannot act on syria. by these by the desire to see some action on the part of the security council the critics wanted the processor as aleutian on the chip the seven which provides for the use of sanctions on the use of force eventually and russia and china are convinced hundred percent that this would be

a disaster and that this would be the beginning of a very slippery slope and will bring us to the libyans in the area which we cannot afford anymore and the region cannot afford the security council was once expended only in the category of nonpermanent members and now. after several decades of the council functioning in the unchanged composition there is a very strong movement towards expanding its membership to better reflect the. pluralism of the of the world community with strongly in favor of this we are convinced that the developing countries and the first of all the new economic and financial leaders in the third world countries like india brazil for example that they must be represented in the security council and we would be in favor

of making them new permanent members. provided of course the decision is taken to create new permanent seats like yours said russia is permanently blocking attempts of some of your own security council members to pass a resolution for that would allow in a foreign intervention into syria but do you think a military action could still play take place going around the un like it happened in case of iraq. well not only in case of iraq but also in case of the former yugoslavia yes it is it is possible and you just cite that one example there are some others but i also feel that those who would like to interfere in the syrian crisis they don't want to do this without some kind of legitimacy or at least i would some kind often action in the united nations which could be used to justify this as being legitimate some people would like very much

to internationalize this situation and to expand the violence beyond the syrian border or set them said being made to specially in cases when the refugees have to flee syria because of the disproportionate actions by the government forces but on the other side. the opposition the armed groups of that position which are several which are not united on this single come on the whole series of acceptable methods absolutely contrary to international humanitarian law. they can cause to just. the staging terrorist attacks and that it's very disheartening that our western called digs in the security council start to refuse. condemning terrorist attacks in syria saying that

yes there is ms bed but you must take into account the overall context of what is going on in syria and why people resort to terrorist attacks it's absolutely unacceptable and this logic we will mike lead us if we follow this logic might lead us to a very dangerous situation not only in the middle east but in other parts of the world if. patmos and the west would begin to. qualify terrorist as. bad terrorist and acceptable terrorists one more reason that arises time to time that could actually ok before intervention is serious possession of chemical weapons do you believe that syria will use chemical weapons or is this another pretext for invasion i don't believe syria would use chemical weapons it would be political. suicide for the government if it

does and it is also accept that by. everyone including our western colleagues the europeans and americans that the biggest threat. in this situation is. the probability that the rebels might take hold of chemical weapons and therefore. while recognizing this when our western friends say but still the responsibilities with the syrian government even the rebels they called it it's a very strange logic because at the same time there was a very people encourage rebels not to negotiate with the government but to continue fighting and giving them arms money and moral and political support so it's a very controversial position. in general the logic of those who say no negotiations with us it is really very controversial and very

dangerous because. well they're not justifying what the government is doing they have been making a lot of mistakes have been using force disproportionately the security forces clearly war. are prepared to face the public. protests and the protests in the cities and in the villages they have been threatening you know to call into foreign aggression not to keep law and order civilized men there but their position is provoking the government as i said resorting to terrorist attacks taking hostages and also introducing into this conflict the stick there in a mansion which is very dangerous it is already reverberating in the muslim world.

and be an ethnic and confessional sic their income position of syria is so complex that if. the callus is established there it was very great all over the region but coming back to the present situation if people who say no negotiations with us. if they believe that. he's departure in whatever form is number one priority then they must understand that for this job political goal of theirs they would have to pay the price but the price in the lives of the serious of the syrian civilians they chose the claimant of patrick miss out on turkish syrian border is that part of solution and why they really targeted that we recognize the right for turkey to think about its own security and the right of turkey to use for this purpose the international

arrangements which turkey has in that particular case nato membership. and we accepted this as a given. on the other hand the more the military had to be or your cumulate in one place. the more risk you have that this had to be or when they would be used. as for the. purpose of this deployment yes i read that here that some experts believe that if it is intended to prevent any. syrian crossfire. ben that could be positioned to be different and as it is in the business to be positioned some people say it is quiet. useful to put the raid that american the raid there which is part of the american missile defense

system building quoting the threat from iran. if this is the case then it is even more risky i would say because this multiple purpose deployment. could create additional. temptations let's talk about iran rather than syria well that's what that's what some people say. the configuration as it is being presented in the media it. really looks like it could be used against iran you know syria is not the only issue between america and russia first think obama did when he got reelected is that he signed the so-called magnitsky that would sanction russian citizens and some russian officials what does it tell you about the new stage of the russian u.s. relations with putting obama at the helm but i don't think this was the first thing about one hundred first was reelected this was inevitable with.

the senators some of the guardian and some other centered use this idea. it was clearly. to create catch twenty two for the administration because that ministration was moving the removal of jefferson venue amendment with the support of quite a number of people on the hill. and this was absolutely obvious that the ricans want it because it was rushed obsession to w. . keeping jackson verdict would mean depriving the american companies of the benefits of. membership of the russian federation so they had to do this. anyway and then the republicans i think decided to have this trick to hinge the jackson very.

removal on magnitsky act which was at that moment i think mostly. done against president obama. because as for the russian citizens who have been included on that list and they haven't seen that it's still. not published. if they want to prevent russian citizens they don't like to be united states they can do it without their governments without any show well remember the off record conversation that obama and mediator had and obama promised to be more flexible right after elections but from what you're saying how how how much flexibility he really be or allow himself to be with this republican opposition in congress well i think that's the peculiarities of the american system and the congressman can

freeze consideration of. very important issues just because the beef from his particular state is not being admitted to one country in the other for the senate the reasons and. the issues of global importance could be just frozen because of the. interest of one single state in the united states. the interest having nothing to do with the substance of the issue in question. so sometimes the issues of huge importance like the you know the israeli palestinian conflict and the need to settle it being kept hostages for years and years. because of the peculiarity of the near it in the electoral cycles we would prefer. to approach international issues on the basis of the their merit and on the basis of the crying need to do something together. without looking

back at your domestic politicking interests so you are both russia's foreign minister thank you very much for this interview thank you.
